Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Jaconé. The water is sitting at 72°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary there.

The start of the outlook is a bit of a slow burn. Sunday the 26th and Monday morning are pretty ordinary, with a weak and messy energy level (633) and the wind is a bit of a pain. But hold on – Monday morning the 27th sees the wind swing offshore from the NE. It’s a gentle breeze, so the surface will be clean. Swell is a modest 3 ft from the south at 12 seconds – that’s a long period, a proper groundswell. It’s more of a point or reef setup wave, but it’ll have shape. It’s not a standout, but it’s a solid start. The energy is still moderate (389).

The real standout begins to build from the 1st of August. Saturday the 1st has a clean 3 ft south swell, with that light offshore NE wind. Then Sunday the 2nd morning is your first proper highlight. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the ENE, but the period is a short 7 seconds – that’s windswell, a bit jumbled. Still, with light offshore wind, it’s going to be clean and fun. Energy is moderate (454).

But the best of the best is Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th of August. The swell pumps up to 10 ft from the SSW on Thursday morning, with a period of 13 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is massive (3098). The wind is a moderate offshore from the NE, so it’s going to be clean. However, at 10 ft, this is for experts only. It’s too big for beginners. The break is exposed, so it will be handling that size. Friday the 7th morning is still excellent, with 8 ft from the south, a 13-second period, and glassy conditions. Energy is 1801. This is the epicenter for experienced surfers. Saturday the 8th morning is still solid, with 7 ft from the SSE and a gentle offshore wind, but it’s a step down.

After that, the swell drops off. The 9th and 10th of August have clean, smaller surf (5 ft down to 3 ft) with light offshore winds, which is good for a longboard or a fun session, but nothing compared to that big pulse.

There’s a gap of about four days from the end of July to the start of August where the surf is very small, but it picks up nicely. The main takeaway is that the 6th and 7th of August are the real deal – big, clean, and powerful. If you’re not an expert, stick to the mornings of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for some fun, clean waves.
